TechRev:

i agree with you. This story is bullshit.
They said she disappeared in July, they are just finding her corpse now in the morgue. How did they get access to her chat logs on facebook without knowing her facebook credentials? Or maybe they contacted facebook for the info? Why did the hotel not look through the CCTV when they discovered the corpse?? Why did the hotel not call the police when they discovered the corpse but were able to drop it at the morgue?? Has an autopsy been done on the body?? how did they determine she was drugged and then strangled without an autopsy?? How did they rule out drug or cocaine overdose??

RIP Cynthia, but being a General's daughter and a business woman, you should have know that you were safer paying with a cheque how could you carry cash to a hotel for a legitimate business deal??

She no carry cash, she went to collect cash. Abegi people why una dey read like this. Her business partner contacted her on Facebook (her boutique must be the hottest in Nassarawa) paid her flight ticket (what a generous business partner, who deals in clothes). She travelled from Nassarawa to Abuja to see a friend and from Abuja to Festac (runsgals breeding town) to collect clothes in a HOTEL ROOM IN FESTAC (hmmmm) Please oh, it is only Golden Tulip that is up to 3 star, the rest are merely guest houses in Festac (a breeding ground for sex experiences) not up to 2 stars. And if it is the Festac I know very well, the only business men and women transact in hotel room is sex.

This is just α singular case of something going wrong on facebook, what of the millions of successful untold stories of good business deals, marriages, unbreakable friendships, reunion, etc this singular case is not enough to ban facebook from nigeria unless you wish to live in isolation-its your personnal choice, its unfortunate whether we agree or not that's what you get when you involve yourself in RUNS, another name for CALL GIRLS all fingers point to that. Why didn't the assilants take her to their house if it was α proper relationship, why would she embark on α journey without tell her folks or friends where and who she is going to meet,if she has α botique them it is not the first time for her to travel to Lagos meaning she has costumers who she gets her wears from why didn't she just go to them and purchase her wears from them and go back to her base, NO she is into RUNS meeting total stranger with SEX for MONEY proposals. May God have mercy on everyone involved including the victim. R.I.P.

I hv advised people to stop using facebook & other social media to chat with strangers or even long lost acquiantances because u can say wht they up to now. D unfortunate death of this young lady further reinforces my belief that there's nothing to gain from facebook & d other social media. No matter how smart u think u ar there ar rogues out there planning to outsmart u. When i opened a face acct sometime d first message a saw was that somebody frm india was waitin 2 chat wit me. Me? What 4? I abandoned d acct & facebk 4 good. I dont use social media at all & i am better 4 it. Pls educate everybody around u of d dangers of using social media.

scary as this news is, I can confidently tell you that most girls in Nigeria are in no way better than this lady. They'll be quick to meet you up at any location without any previous acquaintance.

The unbelievable part is that they are willing to jump into car and travel to any city to meet a complete stranger. These girls don't even want to know whether you are married or not. Just recharge their BIS and send them 20k with a flight ticket, the deal is sealed.

similar incident took place around 2007 involving a popular Hausa movie actres "Maryam Iyana" that was invited to meet up with a guy in Lagos, that incident led to the guy making a pornographic movie with her which later went viral on social media.

Log onto Facebook and ask most of our university girls this " when are you coming to see me ?", the response will always be a positive one. I'm beginning to think most of these girls usually log out their senses before login into Facebook. RIP Cynthia.
u r right,infact all my friends on fb are people i know personally and directly outside fb which consists of colleagues in d office,friends in church,family friends,cousins,neighbours,ex school course mates and all.i can never and will never accept a friend request from a random stranger and d people i even know personally wil tel me 1st outside fb bfor sendin a friend request.i dont know y som gals easily get impressed and carried away by mere words and pictures from a total stranger and even have d nerves to enter his car.som animals sef would send friend request and when i press dismiss dey will send insultive msgs (as its typical of nigerian guys) i.e who do u think u r,do u think ure beautiful,see how bla bla bla u look,of course ill reply dem back with their own coin bfor blockin dem in such a way dat dey wud only see me but wont b able to send a reply bak to me or friend request.mshewwww

In fact, I find it laughable and downright ridiculous that the 'moral' people are attaching to this made-up story is: BEWARE OF FACEBOOK (and by extension social media in general). That's just silly. Thousands of people across Nigeria hook up daily through FB, BBM, the notorious 2go, and countless other social media platforms. We don't get to hear about too many people being robbed or used for rituals as a result. Even if we were all to shy away from this social media 'wooing' thing, I'm pretty sure the girls would be worst affected.

The simple thing here is, rather than demonise facebook, people should rely on their intuition, and take good old safety precautions to the extent possible. However, this is quite hard to be honest, as we can only be so careful, unless we want to be paranoid recluses. In one way or the other we have to 'trust' strangers - otherwise we miss out on an awful lot. Shit happens in life all round, and the unfortunate fact that Cynthia got unlucky doesn't mean that she was the most careless or greedy or 'bad' or whatever. It was just bound to happen to someone - and it was destined to be her.

That is all there is to it. I can't believe how credulous most people are. Since when did the Nigerian police (or media for that matter) suddenly become so trustworthy? This entire story is nonsensical, sorry to say.

How can a hardened criminal answer the phone of a lady he just killed? Even if he did, how did the police trace the phone call to the exact house they where in Festac? Is that how sophisticated our Police force has suddenly become? Why and how did the hotel employees simply take the dead girl's body to a mortuary - without informing the police beforehand as is the standard practice? What is the name of the hotel? There are just too many loopholes here, and I understand why the family would want to present this 'clean' version of events in order to save their pride.

I only hope that the police wouldn't frame-up innocent people for the murder and coerce them into making false confessional statements; we all know that is what the Nigerian Police knows how to do best. I wouldn't be surprised if this girl's death has nothing to do with facebook to begin with.
Food for thought...

DUDE!!!

You said it like it is..

You know, its easy for people to throw stones but the truth is that tonight, over a thousand girls Nationwide will travel a distance, to places that they have never been to before, to go meet up with a man that they have never met before..
I remember a similar situation where a friend of mine recieved a call from a girl with a very beautiful sounding voice.. The call was a wrong number call, however, my friend immediately called her back and a conversation started.. They started to talk everyday and night and for about 2 months. My Friend found out that she was a student in Benue State. So he invited her to come over to Calabar.. Sent her money sef.. You wouldnt believe it that the saturday after he gave her the money, this girl landed in Calabar and by evening, had only a wrapper up to her chest on his bed..

This is a standard practice with many girls..

Sadly, Cynthias case ended up in the 'worst case scenario'..

However, Let me just state that the whole story surrounding her death is really giving a bad name to Cocks & Bulls around the world.. My reason being that except the killers were out for a ritual killing from the start which then would lead me to question why waste time, money and logistics flying a girl in from outside when a random girl can be picked off the street with lesser stress and money involved..

I believe this is a case of manslaughter as a result of a drugging gone bad.. I dont want to believe they set out to kill her from the start.. However, they confessed to this being their 6th body so now I'm even more perplexed.. Although I know how Naija Police interrogation technique dey be.. Person sef fit confess to anything just to stop the pain..

It would have been more profitable to string her along and dupe her of all her cash rathen than killing her outrightly..


Anyways.. RIP Cynthia... You lived your life like a candle in the wind..

People keep commenting on how bad it is for this pretty girl to die so early! Are you saying that Only ugly girls are meant to die young?
Its hilarious complimenting the Dead.

Whatever reasons she went to the Hotel to meet strange guys, who payed for her flight and other stuff is so f*cken dump. I mean at this era, only RUNS girls do that! But even Runs girls have to make safety their priority as they are easy targets to the Ritualists.

R.I.P Dear Cynthia.

You are such ass a$$ and evil minded, business is about networking. Sometimes you need to take risk to be a successful. I bet you one of those that are even afraid to take a bus ride from one street to another thinking all buses are 'one chance'. yes the deceased made fatal errors, she should hav informed her people where she was going and take someone along. This is why Nigeria is in a state she is now, because the word ' trust' is alien to us, we all out for our own personal greed and don't give a monkey about the next person. its a big shame that this young business mogul came to an unfortunate end, but we can learn from it. but for you dumbfuq to use the word foolishness is heartless and pure evil.

Gudday House,I have gone tru every touchin comment here on dis forum concernin dis particular thread,its sad and unfortunate dat cynthia's case turned out to be like dis,pls we shud not throw careless words at each orda or blame dis or dat,d deed has been done,wat next is wat are d lessons do we learn from all dis,especially d ladies,d social media was designed for one purpose to connect and reach out to a vast number of people,and it was not intended to serve as a base for luring innocent pple to be killed,but its rather unfortunate dat d reverse is d case,I will not say I am not guilt of meetin pple I chat wit on social medias,but I do dem wit wisdom,cos u neva can tell dat new contact on fbook or on ur bbm mite be d breaktru u nid to establish ursef in life,we can't stop connectin wit pple,but our intentions wit connectin wit such pple shud guide us,no one knws cynthia's intentions for wantin to connect wit dose guys,ma honest advice to d ladies is dis,if u must meet wit some one u meet on a social media,let dat meetin be on ur own terms and not d orda person's terms and restrict such meetins to open places,dear cynthia God bless ur soul.

BoboYekini: horrible. but something's still not right. if she trusted the suspects enough to fly all the from nassarawa to Lagos(I'm even assuming she had millions in cash on her), why would they have to kill her to get the money?. i mean, the hard part is getting her to show, right? string her along and she'll drop over n over,
and, a girl that's willing to go straight from the airport to a hotel room, you shouldn't have to drug her to get jiggy. and if they did, why then kill her?when you can be easily caught. the payoff just doesn't seem worth it. i know its very possible the story is 'as is'. there are people that wicked.
but I'd hate to cast aspersions on the character/judgment of the poor girl. something. is just off about the whole story. its too....generic. like, 'just give them a story- bare bones'.
those were my thoughts at first. But then i realized these guys must have used their real identities and photos on their fb. If they dint cynthia wouldnt recognize them at d airport and she wouldnt have gone with them willingly. But it goes to show how wicked they really are cos from d beginning, the plan had always been to kill their victims rather than just rob. If they dint want to kill, they could have been using fake id's on their fb
